Exceptional property – Restored medieval castle with unique volumes

Proudly dominating the landscape of Saint-Albin-de-Vaulserre, this residence stands as a centerpiece of luxury real estate in the Isère region. This château, whose origins date back to the 13th century before being enhanced in the 16th, extends majestically across a vast landscaped estate. A true witness to history, the building has undergone a complete renovation over the past five years, successfully achieving the ambitious goal of combining historical authenticity with remarkable energy efficiency, as evidenced by its C-rated energy performance certificate (DPE).

The interior reveals a world where the charm of yesteryear blends seamlessly with refined contemporary comfort. The generous spaces are punctuated by period features preserved with meticulous precision: French-style ceilings, massive beams, monumental fireplaces, and exposed stonework. Around a bend in an open passageway, a major architectural surprise awaits the visitor: an intimate boudoir is revealed beneath a Baroque-inspired fresco covering the entire ceiling, immersing the space in the atmosphere of an aristocratic cabinet of curiosities. The ground floor is further divided between intimate lounges and reception areas where the spacious dining room adjoins the contemporary kitchen, and then the preparation kitchen. An office, a master suite, a cloakroom, and a toilet complete this lower level.

The eight bedrooms, including five suites, each offer their own distinct character, from delicate wood paneling to serene alcoves. The six bathrooms, such as the magnificent one nestled beneath a stone vault, elegantly combine cement tiles, solid wood floors, and soft lighting, embodying this unique art of living. The interior architecture, both stately and intimate, preserves the soul of a stately home while meeting modern requirements.

Outside, the enclosed, wooded garden invites leisurely strolls around a decorative pond. The terrace, shaded by a Sully plane tree, offers panoramic views of the Chartreuse mountains. An impressive outbuilding enhances the property, providing a spacious garage, a welcoming reception area, and an additional 110 sq m of potential living space. This extra area opens up a variety of possibilities, from creating a separate gîte to expanding the existing bed and breakfast business.

Located close to amenities yet offering absolute tranquility, this estate represents a rare opportunity in the market for unique properties.

The quality of the materials and the poetic atmosphere of the place invite a visit to fully appreciate its magic.
